Louis Farrakhan leads "Death to America" chant

[KMaC]

Louis is visiting Iran and building relationships with Iran's future leaders.
Another person with ties to the Federal government that hates America. One of these days his friends are going to have to condemn his views.

I’ll probably get banned for this, but going against Farrakhan is just ignorant racism. He’s had a struggle all of these years. You know, setting Malcolm x up for the kill and everything and the repercussions of that are very stressing. . It’s totally the fault of Donald trump and his supporters. Gun owners, Jewish people and people who have kept to themselves and never started any trouble are to blame. As a Jew myself, I’ve had to deal with this kind of crap my whole life. Purple implied, except for the Jew part. That’s legit.

What he's doing is the definition of treason. He and his entourage should be arrested and charged when they return. Under Trump that might actually happen. It would be interesting to see the political fall-out of the democrats having to take a position, when they've got people like keith ellison on their roster.

Don't all of his speaches have things like that (death to America chant) in them? Or at least something similar? He's a real piece of work. I'd be more surprised if he did something other than this sort of thing.

No ****? What are the odds?

 

[KMaC]

I don't know the odds of an ex-President repudiating such hate against Jews or America but the odds of a certain Congressman denouncing Farrakhan are a big fat 0, or so he said 8 months ago.

Nobody has come to his defense yet?……..I guess it is still early.

Andre Carson won't rule out future meetings with Louis Farrakhan

3-13-18

...In a 50-minute phone interview on Friday, Carson avoided criticizing Farrakhan directly, declined to characterize Farrakhan's remarks as "hate speech," and would not rule out meeting with Farrakhan in the future to discuss policy concerns...

I'm shocked.

 

[Bennettjh]

What a shame, and Carson doesn't really see a problem. How sad.

To be fair, in Carson's world, it isn't any kind of problem. It's all good to him because he agrees with Farrakhan. WHICH IS A HUGE FRIGGIN' PROBLEM.

 

[KMaC]

I'm shocked.

I'm shocked that on the day before an election Fox News is the only major media outlet to cover this story.

I'm also shocked that the Republicans aren't pushing the story on the last campaign day to make Democrats denounce (or support) Farrakhan.

Andre' Carson is a worthless piece of ****. That's the best thing I can say of that s.o.b.

I seriously think this is an opportunity to hold his supporters feet to the fire. It's legal for farrakhan or james wright to rant things like that, locally, to their congregations; it's another thing to go an enemy nation and lead an assembly including that countries leaders, in chanting 'death to America'. That sound like "giving aid and comfort to the enemy"--if nothing else--which is treason.

Who knows but there are laundered funds going to terrorists too. If there aren't arrests and an investigation here, the ball will have been dropped...like a brick on our toes.

No, it's really not. Treason has a very narrow definition.

Iran is not an enemy of the U.S. The nation might be a geopolitical adversary, but it is not an enemy.

 

[Tactically Fat]

I cannot give a % on how much I agree or disagree with what Farrakhan says in total - because I've not read/heard much of it.

But even that which I disagree with, I will support his right as an American, under the 1st Amendment, his right to say it.

 

[Leadeye]

He hasn't changed much over the years.

That might work if they operated in the same or a compatible system of ethics, morals, and beliefs that you hold. Most of them do not. They make choices that are irrational and indefensible to most of us, but in their minds it makes perfect sense.

Perhaps seditious conspiracy then?
I mean, sure these are legal terms but here on INGO; to-MAY-toe, to-MAH-toe
